Just some stuff….

Well…another day…and another problem with coming up with a topic for the day…I have done almost 4,500 of these so I guess that would begin to be a problem….I did read a little more of the David Koch interview where he is whining about the tone of the repub candidates and the party in general…laughed a bit a that one since he and his brother are basically responsible for what the repub party has become…the anti science, and anti everyone who is not straight and white party….the only thing I have to say to ole Dave is “you built that”….not really any more politics right now that interests me so I won’t write about it…..we do need to put the kibosh on the pie fight between Hillary and Bernie soon….Bernie can’t win so he needs to be gracious and start working on policy that can realistically be achieved with Hillary as president….and then we start looking for the VP candidate that would help put us over the top….I would love that to be Elizabeth Warren but I’m not sure where her talents would be better spent….she would probably bring along a lot of the Bernie supporters and we can sure use that…and then Bernie can take over pushing financial reform that she is doing now…hmmm….that could be a topic…for later….not now…

If the repubs lose the Kochs, what do they have left?

Well…following the batshit insane antics of the repub candidates, I thought I’d heard everything, but no, today I heard something that I never thought I’d hear…one of the Koch brothers saying that Hillary would be a better president than any of the repubs that are running. Yep, one of the most insane conservative billionaires in this country thinks that Trump and Cruz have gone too far even for him…from databases of Muslims, to “watching” Muslim neighborhoods, to building a wall on our southern border is too much for the Kochs, when they have no problems spending millions of dollars so that Cleveland couldn’t raise money for it’s zoo…or any one of the rest of the nuttiness they support. Now, that is saying something when the repubs have gone so far off the rails that David Koch thinks you are nuts and won’t spend any money to support you…but that is where the repubs are now…I would say ‘jumped the shark” but that is way too mild for what has happened…maybe “drunk the gasoline”…I’ll have to think a while to come up with the perfect description…what do the repubs have left if they have lost the Kochs? Not much….more later…
